Cool Hunting
Years ago as an assistant at Pat Hearn Gallery, artist Andrea Zittel didn’t have the cash to dress like a gallerina. Instead, she started sewing her own uniforms and made a version for winter and one for summer. The originals are now incredibly collectible, but Zittel is staging a resurrection of the line with her latest project, "Smockshop."
Zittel designed a simple double wrap-around garment and asked other artists to reinterpret her original design. Zittel says the project “generates income for artists whose work is either non-commercial, or not yet self-sustaining.” The smockers include Tiprin Follett, V Smiley, Kate Hillseth, Lisa Anne Auerbach, Ashira Siegel, Molly Keogh, Ann Trondson, R.Scott Mitchell, Maude Benson, Mark Rodriguez and Peggy Pabustan, as well as some very special guest sewers.
After launching Smockshop in L.A., the project opens this Friday, 7 September 2007, at NYC's Susan Inglett Gallery. On Saturday, 8 September 2007, the Smockshop will host a day of performances in and around the storefront. The smocks are priced to sell.

Based on the consistently fresh cuts and minimalist feel, you'd think AMP (A Mulher do Padre) was new to the scene. But the São Paulo-based label known for styles more akin to edgy Japanese brands is in its lucky 13th year already and only recently really beginning to gain ground with the factions they want to convert: 20- and 30-somethings who no doubt take...
